The Saint John’s Bible

Thanks to an anonymous donor, the Cathedral is the proud owner of a heritage copy of the Saint John’s Bible. Here are some interesting facts about it:

First illuminated manuscript Bible in more than 500 years.

Sponsors—Benedictine Monks of Saint John’s Abbey, Collegeville, Minnesota. Commissioned in 1998 as a millennium project originally proposed by Donald Jackson and led by Br. Dietrich Reinhart, Abbot of Saint John’s at the time.
